Officials monitoring sinkhole in San Pedro

The Associated Press

Authorities are keeping an eye on a sinkhole in the San Pedro section of Los Angeles.

City and county engineers have been monitoring the area for potential landslide risk for the past several months. A section of the road has been closed to cars after ground buckling caused cracks and authorities Wednesday are considering closing it to pedestrians.

Crews are working to reroute storm drains, sewer and water lines.

The cause of the sinkhole is under investigation. There is no current threat to homes.
